THE HAWAIIAN INCIDENT.
. The reported friction in the Ha
waiian commission at Honolulu is im
portant because it developed a pre
cedent, says the Inter Ocean, The
resolution of congress declared that,
the republic of Hawaii having in due
form signified its consent to cede ab
"Nplutely and without reserve to the
United States of America all rights
of sovereignty whatsoever, "the ces
sion be accepted and confirmed and
that the said Hawaiian islands and
their dependencies be, and they are
herebj', annexed as a part of the ter
ritory of the United States, and are
subject to the sovereign dominion
thereof." The adoption of this rcso
lution made the Hawaiian islands an
integral part of the United States.
From the moment that the American
flag was formally Taised over the
government building at Hawaii by
Admiral Miller there was no Ha
waiian republic. The islands were
as much a part of the United States
as if they had been one of the thir
teen original states.
It may seem a trilling matter that
the commissioners declined to call
first on ex President Dole. It may
eeem like straining a point in eti
quette or like manifesting small re
spect for the late officials of the little
republic that was so anxious to be
come a part of this great American
Union. But on such trivial matters
have turned important controversies.
Senator Cullom, chairman of the
commission, held that under ihe cir
cumstances ex President Dole was
Ant.. a f t i IT. n'. I !. . r f m .n . ri
fiioners. Mr. Dole, on the contrary,
beld. that until the commission had
completed its work be was to be rec
ognized as the chief executive of the
Hawaiian republic. If he acted in
accordance with the Congressional
resolution Senator Cullom could not
. recognize this. The commission has
410 power to modify any of the con
ditions of annexation. The action
-of congress settled that . whole ques-
tion. There is little probability that
--there will be any irritation of grrat
dedhng on this matter among the Ha
"walians. There is little danger that
cx-President Dole and his associates
will make any mistakes in the way of
promoting irritation. They have se
cured what they asked for. The
United States government is now in
possession. The American flag has
been raised over the islands by the
consent of the Hawaiian government
and at the solicitation of the party in
power. All the conditions of the
transfer have been agreed to. The
commission is to arrange the details
of the local administration, but is not
empowered to discuss or act npon
any question settled by congress.
Mr. Dole and all those who eo
creditably conducted the affairs of
the little republic may be a trifle sen
sative on the question of courtesy,
due them, but they are as earnest in
their desire to promote good rela
tions between the people of the new
territory and the United States as
are the American members of the
commission. They will' realize that
Senator Cullom's decision to recog
nize no government but that of the
United States is a correct one. ..
SPAIN'S DELUSIVE HOPES.
Spain's hopes to secure a favorable
settlement in the peace commission
at Paris are destined . to disappoint
ment. They will fail for at least two
reasons: Her complete co'lapse in the
war deprives her of all right to ex
pect favors, and the aid which she
looks lor from Russia, France, Ger
many and Austria will not bo fur
nished. To a certain extent, of
course, the peace commission's en
vironment is calculated to arouse
false hopes in Spain. Popular senti
ment in Paris is on the side of Spain,
and the influence of the official class
among the nations of . continental
Europe will be exerted indirectly for
that country, but the pressure which
it expects will be absent. The settle
ment will be between the United
States and Spain strictly. :. No out
side interference will be permitted by
this country. The relative strength
of the combatants as determined by
the war, and the position and the im
mediate prospect of each at the be
ginning of the armistice are the con
siderations on which the adjustment
will be based.
That the Spanish commissioners
will make a bard fight tp retain the
Philippines was to bo expected, and
the report to this effect which comes
from Madrid will not surprise any
body in this country. - But if Spain
imagines, as the report also indicates,
that the United States will be talked
into an abandonment of all territorial
rights in the islands except for a
coaling station she is woefully blind.
The obligations which the United
States is nnder toward the insurgents,
whom we induced to resume hostili
ties, and our own commercial inter
ests in the Pacific- prevent us from
surrendering any of our claims to
possession of the whole group. AVe
already have Luzon by conquest, and
with our navy and the absence of a
navy on the part of the Spaniards we
could bring the rest of the islands
under our control in a few weeks if
the war were resumed. These facts
will tell in the commission. Spain's
representatives will quickly be made
to see that we are masters of the
situation, and raiher than riik the re
opening of a suicidal war they will
defer to American demands.
It will be well for Spain to remem
ber that this is not the first time that
America has taken part in a peace
commission in Paris, and that it is no
stranger to the hostile influences
which may be exerted in that quarter.
The treaty of 1783, by which Eng
land acknowledged the Independence
of the United States, was framed in
that city, and the anti-American in
fluences on that occasion were far
more powerful and dangerous there
then than they can be now. Both
Fiance and Spain, our "allies" in the
war just ended, tiicd in the peace
treaty of 1783 to restrict the United
Slates to the region east of the Al
leghenics, so as to prevent this coun
try from acquiring a power which
might be dangerous to them in the
future. The victories of George
Rogers Clark, however, over the
Biitish in what is now Indiana and
Illinois in the latter part of the revo
lution gave nsclaims which could not
be set aside. England, our recent
enemy, fairer than our treacherous
friends, acceded to our demand that
our Western boundary be fixed at the
Mississippi. The Urited States,
which secured justice when among
the feeblest of the world's nations, is
not likely to fail now when it is one
of the strongest.
IMAGINARY CAMP HORRORS.
A full page of the Republic of
Sunday was occupied by an article
headed "The Truth About the Awful
Division Hospital," at Camp Alger.
This broadside of sensational stuff is
signed by one of the Republic's home
staff, and it is evident that be was
instructed to make the matter as har
rowing as possible. It deals with
generalities, charging criminal neg
lect, but carefully avoids official regi
mental figures. No one can tell after
wading through the seven columns of
verbiage, cut up into bliort gasps of
denunciation, how many men have
died at Camp Alger. But the fa
miliar picture is imbedded in the
page of the young volunteer of 20
stepping off blithely to the war and
returning four months later an
emaciated wreck, looking every day
of 50. To some persons closely in
terested in the troops at Camp Alger
these statements, presented with all
the arts of the scare head, may cause
distress. But to others, belter in
formed concerning the source and
the motives behind, they will be dis
missed as deliberately cooked up for
political effect and belonging to the
order of campaign roorbacks. The
variety, is of the meanest, for the
feelings of the relatives of soldiers
are entirely disregarded. .
Any one who sares to go through
Ibis page of rot, fixed up mechanical
ly to suit a purpose, will . be struck
by its excess of words and paucity of
definite figures. The upper thiid of
the page is cheap and maudlin
rhetoric about the robust lad who,
after 120 days of camp life in Vir
ginia, is transformed into an aged im
becile. It is not enough to pile up
the agony about the past and present
situation. The future is darkened
w ith despair. "Many graves," says
the writer, "will have to be dug,
many hearts will mourn, many tears
will fall, ere death will have ceased
to find victims of the incompetency
of those -who managed this cam
paign." The name of Camp Alger,
it is asserted, will be among the
soldiers "a synonym for hell."' Then
follow charges that 22,000 men were
assembled at short notice; that the
camp was not changed at the end of
thirty da3s; that the water supply at
first was insufficient and contaminat
ed; that; the river was ten roiies dis
tant and bathing difficult; that sup
plies became tainted in the five mile
haul from the railway to camp; that
the officers were pampered while 'the
men suffeicd, and that everything
went wrong in the hospitals from
first to last. How many of the 22
000 men died under this treatment?
The staff correspondent fails to say a
word on this point. His instructions
did not include anything so specific.
When the facts interfere with his
theme, the "awful" hospital, it is bad
lor the facts.
Many of the sick of the Missouri
regiments have been brought back to
the state.. Of the number taken to
the St. Louis hospitals one has died.
The mortality in the Missouri regi -j
menls at Camp Alger has not been
high nor unusual. , It seems strange
that a whole page on the subject
should be worked up without giving
the figures; that is, it seems strange
until the design is considered. In
the four months service this year of
240,000 men the death rate in the
army has been 5.4 per 1000, or 16.2
per vear, a lower rate than that of
London, an exceptionally tealthy
city. In 1861 the annual mortality
from disease in the union army was
24 per 1000. In Camp Alger it was
at least one-third less. The British
mortality from sickness in the Crimea
was seventeen 4imes that of our army
during the war with Spain. The
mortality by regiments at Camp Al
ger would have occupied but little
space in the Republic, but the figures
would have spoiled its whole page of
sensational invention and they were
carefully avoided. St. Louis Globe
Democrat. -
One of the most beneficial results
of the recent war is the discovery by
the public that it ought to be
ashamed of itself for giving coun
tenance to the yellow newspapers.
The time may come when it will
be necessary for the United States to
employ a sirdar for the purpose of
crushing out the howling dervishes of
the yellow press.
The difference is 'that the London
newspapers will not attempt to cloud
the glory of the Soudan campaign by
holding the British government re
sponsible for the climate of the
Soudan.
The refreshing coolness of autumn
will quickly reduce the number of
fever cases among the soldiers, pro
vided, of course, the camp3 are kept
scrupulously clean.
The deivish assaults upon the Brit
ish line at Oindurman were fierce but
brief. They were beaten back by
striking the rock of Anglo-Saxon
courage. - -
Admiral Dewey is making no re
marks at Manila. He has just quietly
settled down to see that none of the
fruits of victory are overlooked. .

FOREST RANGERS DO GOOO.
Captain Oimibjt Finds That
Have Kept Do wo Fire.
They
Superintendent S.' B. Ormsby, of the
Oregon forest reservt-e, arrived in Salem
yesterday, from a ten-day tour of in
spection of certain of the range districts
in his jurisdiction, says the Statesman.
At Prospect be met Forest Supervisor
Nat Lsngell, and with him visited the
camps of the rangers, under Mr. Langell,
posted from Prospect to Crater lake.
En route he saw evidences of heavy fires
that occured before the range force was
put on, but found there had been no
fire anywhere in that district since the
new system of enrveiillance had been
inaugurated. The atmoephere about
Crater lake, usually charged with smoke
haze, was absolutely clear and pure, and
residents ot that country inform Super
intendent Ormsby that this was the
first season in years that such a state
of affairs had existed there. The Super
intendent feels that the . system is full
of efficacy, and it is fast proving the
wisdom of the department in establish
ing it. a sentiment entirely concured in
by Commissioner Hermann, who in
timated that another year would find
the rangers on duty earlier in the sea
son, at least by July 1, and in greater
numbers.
Fires were reported to Superintendent
Ormsby as raging below the Oregon line
in California, in which vast amounts of
valuable lumber were consumed. The
Uinpqua and Rogue river valleys are
entirely free from smoke, and no fires
are reported in Southern or Southeast'
ern Oregon anywhere.
POLITICS IN KLICKITAT-
Republican . Primaries Made Things
I-ively in Goldeudale.
Saturday the Republican primaries
were held at the various precincts in
Klickitat. The fact that a nomination
on the Republican ticket at the coming
county convention will be equivalent to
an election this fall, caused a fight for
the well -paying offices of sheriff and
auditor. For .the former William D.
Burgen and A. R. Graham lead. Will
F. Byars, Goldendale'e well-known
newspaperman, is a condidate, wlii'e
Jame9 W. Butler and Professor C. M,
Ryman want the eame office. Hon.
James Wheelhouae and Charley Eayser
have been mentioned for the lesislatore,
Mr. Wheelhouae is known as the Re
publican "war-horse of Klickitat."
Attorney N. B- Brooke, a Silver Re
publican, expressed " himself as being
surprised yesterday on the receipt of the
news at Goldendale that he was nomi
nated by the Ellensburc convention for
joint senator of the twelfth senatorial
district. Mr. Brooks is in doubt as to
accepting the nomination. Nelson B
Brooks is about forty years of age, and
is a native of Michigan.- He was a
member of the Washington territorial
legislature of 1SS3, and later served as
county school snpintendeot of Klickitat

Deafness Cannot beiCnred
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafnees is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en
tirely closed, Deafness is the reeult, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever;, nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucou9 sur
faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be enred by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars ; free.

A CRITICAL TIME
During the Battle at
Santiago.
SICK OR WELL, A RUSH
NIGHT AND DAY.
The Packers at the Battle o&Santlago de
Cnba Were all Heroes Their Heroic
Efforts Id Getting Ammunition and
Itatlons to the Front Saved the Day.
P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 3,
writing from Sandiago, De Cuba, on
July 23d, says: "We all had diarrhoea .
in more or less .violent form, and when
we landed we had no time to see a
doctor, for it was a case of rush and rush
night and day to keep the troops sup
plied with ammunition and rations, but
thanks to Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy, we were abie to
keep lit work and keep our health ; ia
fact, I sincerely believe that at one
critical time this -medicine was the in
direct saviour of our army, for if the
packers had been unable to work there
would have been no way of getting sup
plies to the front. There were no roads
that a wagon train could use. My com- '
rad and myself had the good fortune to
lay in a supply of this medicine for out
pack-train before we left Tampa, and I
know in four cases it absolutely saved
life."

WRECKED
The Little Vessel Driven on the Rocks
Below the Cascades.
At about 3 o'c'ock TueBday, the little
steamer Hattie Bell, which has been
chartered by the D. p. & a. N. Co.,
was coming through the rapids below
the locks when it was driven by the
force of the current on to the shore in
almost the eame identical place in which
the Regulator wrecked a few weeks ago.
We understand that the steamer was in
charge of Captain Hosford, an old river
man, and who is considered one of
the best ship masters on the river, No
lives were lost in the wreck and as in
formation concerning it is meagre, little
can be said abont the damage done to
the steamer.
A strong wind was . blowing at the
time of the accident and this probably
aided the water -n running the vessel
on the rocks. .
The accident is certainly an unfortu
nate one for the D. P. and A. N. Co., as
they were short of boats to carry the
immense amount of freight which is
being shipped over their line, and it
was with difficulty that this boat could
be Becured. At present the Regulator
is wrecked in the Locks while the Hat
tie Bell lies on the rocks below, pro
bably in as bad a condition.
